QString doesn't provide QString::QString(std::string)

[GreatBunzinni]

Although my program doesn't have the QT_NO_STL macro defined, when I try to assign a std::string object to a QString object the operation fails silently, either through QString::FromStdString() and QString::QString(std::string &). Moreover, when I try to compile code which outputs QString objects to the standard output stream, I get the following error:

error: cannot bind ‘std::ostream’ lvalue to ‘std::basic_ostream<char>&&’

This didn't happened in Kubuntu 10.10.

The docs don't mention any such constructor existing: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qstring.html

I see 3 issues reported.
1) QString::fromStdString "failing silently"
2) No QString constructor from std::string
3) Error when attempting to output a QString to an std::ostream

for 1), can you explain exactly what you mean by "fails silently", perhaps with a code testcase?
as for 2), there is no such constructor, so that's not something we would "fix"
and for 3), the same as for 1), a test case would help us diagnose the issue
